Another Home Run........

Ever since Teresa July made her apprearance in "Something Like Love" I have been eagerly awaiting her story. Needless to say I was not disappointed. BJ delivered another sexy and educational novel. The story takes you on an amazing adventure that is over much too soon. My only complaint is I can't figure out which of the new characters she introduced will be the next book. Mrs. Jenkins please don't keep us in suspence for too long!!

Thank You Ms. B

This was a great read. The Heroinne Teresa July is a former Bank and Train robber just released from prison into the custody of the Hero's mother. The hero Madison Nance is a former gambler now bank owner. Their romance was hot and full of fireworks and chemistry. I truly enjoyed this read. At first, in other books, I did not like the Teresa July character. But, in this book she comes to life and she is a bad girl. New characters are introduced and you will be salivating for their stories. Great Read!!!!

It's not often you read a story where the heroine is an Indian gun slinging woman who robs trains an

Following her brothers into a life of crime has landed Teresa July on the wrong side of the law. Eventually she's captured and spends three years incarcerated in a prison far enough away from the Arizona territory that none of her family can visit. As a reward for coming to the aid of a prison matron Teresa is released early into the care of Molly Nance. She's to spend a year with Molly learning to adjust to life outside of prison. Unfortunately, Molly's son, Madison, isn't happy that a dangerous outlaw is living under his mother's roof. Madison Nance is a well-respected banker in the Philadelphia community. He's used to women of a genteel nature and has never encountered one as bold and abrasive as Teresa. She tries his patience to the point where he'd like nothing more than to turn her over his knee - either that or kiss her. Madison is positive that his mother has made a huge mistake in taking the little thief into her home. Madison takes a disliking to Teresa before he even meets her. All the publicity about her wild adventures in bank and train robbing have him convinced that she'll rob his mother blind. Teresa is beyond grateful for Molly's generosity and would never do anything to hurt her in any way. Madison's holier-than-thou condescending attitude rubs Teresa the wrong way and she's not about to let him get away with acting like he's better than her - especially not after she finds out that he used to be a gambler. While Madison and Teresa wage their battle of words, Molly takes great pleasure in watching her son's reaction to having a woman around who's unafraid to stand up to him. Molly's determined to teach Teresa all the fine qualities of being a lady. Madison actually bets his mother that she'll never be able to pull it off. The last thing he expects is for her stubborn outlaw spirit to combine with his mother's teachings to create a woman he can't resist. Madison and Teresa come from very different backgrounds and she has every intention of returning to her beloved home - far away from the city. Is there any possibility of a future for them? Beverly Jenkins is sure to charm readers with her newest literary work, WILD SWEET LOVE. It's not often you read a story where the heroine is an Indian gun slinging woman who robs trains and banks. You'll roar with laughter over Teresa's bold antics and the great pride she has in her abilities. She's an endearing character who had me smiling through much of the storyline. Madison is a thrilling character whom I couldn't help but adore. I loved his protectiveness toward his mother, his pride in the black community, and how confused he is by his desire for Teresa. WILD SWEET LOVE is chock full of fun unexpected events, fascinating characters, witty dialogue, and a touch of history that will have you wondering about the Wild West that is rarely mentioned in history books. Both of these characters made previous appearances in other Beverly Jenkins novels. Teresa J

Wild Sweet Love

The African American history teacher, Beverly Jenkins has returned with a story of the West in the East. This time with feisty Black Seminole, Teresa July, who has been released from prison in Philadelphia to the custody of Molly Nance. Teresa, who plans to be on her best behavior for a year so she can return home to her family in Henry Adams Kansas tries her best to avoid trouble. Madison Nance, former gambler now banker and son of Molly is a little leary of Teresa but desires her as well. When Teresa receives her leathers from back home, she gives the folks back East a taste of the West especially Madison. What follows is a great story with humor, history and romance. When Teresa has to return to Henry Adams, accompanied by Madison and Molly, we get updates from other July family members and are introduced two newer ones, Diego and Harper. Ms Jenkins has not disappointed and proves again why her loyal fans cannot wait for her next release.

BJ Does it Again!!!!

Teresa July, baby sister of the infamous Neil and Two Shafts July, has been caught and sent to prison by Hanging Judge Parker for robbing trains. Going to jail wasn't such a big deal for Teresa but Parker sentenced her to a prison in Philadelphia, a million miles from home. Teresa is given probation for time served and for coming to the aid of a prison matron. So for the next year, she has to stay with Molly Nance, part of the Black Elite, for rehabiliation. Now Teresa has to surrender her leathers and gun for dresses, sewing lessons, flower arranging. Teresa, who always prepared for everything, was not prepared for Mrs. Nance's son, Madison, a former gambler and lady's man turned banker. BJ is awesome. In WSL, she has taken two minor characters for previous books (Something Like Love and A Chance at Love) and created a story that leaves you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Teresa is full of spunk, sass, wit, and charm that her fans simply love. Madison is clever, ambitious and as handsome as ever. The love/hate romance between Teresa and Madison will make you pant for more. She also introduces fun and loving new characters as well as bring you up to date with many of our favorites - Chase Jefferson, Olivia, everyone in Henry Adams Kansas, and The July brothers. BJ gives you a lot of Philadelphia history and refresher with the Seminoles. As always, I can't get enough of these characters and I eagarly await for the next installment, whether historical or contempory. BJ knows how to write a love story.. Hands Down!! Peace and Blessings!!!
